The first time I saw those was in high school. A really fat, punk kid wore some white or off white ones that became progressively dirtier as time went on... he never wore anything else though! By the end of the year, they looked like filthy bandages wrapped around his feet.

The first Hardcover printing of American Psycho released in the States (I'm not sure if there has been anywhere else). 200 are being released - signed and numbered by BEE. I preordered and the price must have dropped for a day because I'm paying about $40 less than they're asking right now. I'm not sure what the cover is supposed to be - I kind of don't like it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1613470193/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I don't think it's a bad idea, you get spoilers anyway. If you see the film first, you know what the book is about, and the other way around. I think I did that once, actually. And to my shame, I only read We Need To Talk About Kevin after seeing the movie. Trust me, you'll finish it. It's so captivating it only took me about a week to finish.

My morning routine is to check whether The Perks of Being a Wallflower is FINALLY on torrent sites. Still isn't.

I didn't hate it really, it just annoyed me. There were moments where I was like, "Oh that's interesting!" but mostly the style wore very thin for me. It was hard for me not to imagine things in reverse before he got to them and so their effect was kind of diminished. Just didn't seem so brilliant to me.

...I gave up half way through. Felt quite ashamed seeing at the book wasn't exactly long and it's technically my book club, but I just found it slow and the narrator talking about himself in the 3rd person really annoying.
